| Sumario: | "Decades ago, when workers stayed at one job their entire careers, they could gradually, methodically work their way up the corporate ladder. Leadership development was standard throughout the business world, rarely considering an individual's skills, experiences, or interests. Coaching, a highly effective form of leader development, was reserved for the executive elite. Today, technology and social advances have dramatically altered the way we work, yet many companies persist in using 50-year-old leadership development approaches that haven't created the desired outcomes. It's as if we ask leaders to watch a black-and-white television with just three channels, when they can now easily pick from hundreds of streaming options. Those legacy leadership approaches were designed for a different time and a different workforce. A half-century ago, corporate America was more homogeneous, management was more authoritarian, and leadership development was doled out factory-style to a lucky few. In today's increasingly diverse and individualistic workforce, old-school leadership development creates an ever-widening gap between the upper echelon and the high-potential managers who often are passed over and denied access to the choice positions. This has left companies scrambling to attract and retain the finest talent. In Leadership Revolution: The Future of Developing Dynamic Leaders, Lori Mazan, Co-Founder, President and Chief Coaching Officer at Sounding Board, a global leadership development enterprise platform, makes it clear that what makes leaders successful has not changed, but how to make them successful has changed greatly. Many decision makers still rely on 1980s (or earlier) approaches and techniques, but Mazan will overturn those outdated beliefs and show why the old development models don't work, how to attract and retain talent by accelerating and individualizing their growth, why and how remote workers make companies more profitable, how your staff can flourish with a sense of community and shared purpose without necessarily being 'in the office,' and much more. In short, she will detail exactly how you can become a leader who develops leaders."-- |
